The Lucky Strike brand was promoting the idea of powerful effects of nicotine on suppressing the appetite, and therefore, losing so much weight.

#6 – The Sleeping Beauty diet

The only time you can’t eat is when you are sleeping… Well, that’s an interesting way to shed some weight, maybe!

The advocates of this weight-loss method suggest that sleeping means you will have less time to eat, and it will also boost your metabolism. Many people were trying to take sedatives to help them sleep for countless hours during the daytime.

Sleeping is a good thing and it would be nice if we were capable to do it all the time, but it is not healthy, it will keep you for being active, and it will deprive you of important nutrients. Plus, the sedatives can have some dangerous effects on your body.

#7 – The cabbage soup diet

Anyone who wants to lose weight would want fast results, and that’s what the cabbage soup is promising! If you started drinking the cabbage soup along with limited meals for 7 days, you will lose 5 kg.

The dangerous part about this diet is when it leads to cut off important nutrients that your body needs on a daily basis, like carbohydrates and healthy fats. Plus, you will end up gaining back all those kilos faster than you lost them, which can havoc with your metabolism.
